QUESTION of the WEEK: My husband wants to know if anyone else thinks about the movies, a cat and a baseball team when hearing the word 'rhubarb'?

ANSWER: RHUBARB - a movie made in 1951. Rich, eccentric T.J. Banner adopts a feral cat who becomes an affectionate pet. Then T.J. dies, leaving to Rhubarb most of his money and a pro baseball team, the Brooklyn Loons. When the team protests, publicist Eric Yeager convinces them Rhubarb is good luck. But Eric's fiancée Polly seems to be allergic to cats, and the team's success may mean new hazards for Rhubarb. Written by Rod Crawford

Don't know what to do with your spring onions? Here are some suggestions:

- add to your tossed salads (I know, an obvious one)
- add to quinoa (ask me about this stuff - I love it!!)
- top your potato
- grill it! and serve it up as a side... It is easy and surprisingly tasty. Lightly coat it with olive oil, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar (optional) and salt (also optional).

Most gardeners, sooner or later, are inundated with a bumper crop of
something (or many things). Most TV garden shows have published
cookbooks to deal with that. Two of my favorites are out of print and
therefore available from out-of-print book sellers at very inexpensive
prices.
The Joy of Gardening Cookbook
The Victory Garden Cookbook
In addition there are all the on line recipe sources.
foodtv.com
epicurious.com
recipes.com
eatingwell.com (my favorite for modern, healthy, easy to prepare
recipes with nutritional analysis)
BTW... my degree from Cornell is in Food & Nutrition, I have taught a
high school food and nutrition program for 35 years in Baldwin, Long
Island. I have written the new food and nutrition curriculum for the
New York State Education Department ( 6 courses: Intro to foods,
Advanced Culinary, Baking, Gourmet Foods, Career Exploratory Restaurant
Management, Nutrition, Health & Fitness).
